Caught In the Act.

On Thursday night last while the City
of Jacksonville was discharging freight
and passengers at the Florida Southern
dock, one of the passengers was seen to
leave the steamer with n package, but
nothing was thought of it at the time.
When all the freight was checked ashore
one package was missing-a box OF
candy-then the night clerk at the depot
MIR. Lanning, remembered seeing the
passenger with the box; SO he immedi
ately sent for him. as he had recognized
the man as he passed off the boat. The
fellow came down, and being accused
stoutly denied having taken the box, but
was finally persuaded that matters
would be made lively for him if he did
not, SO he acknowledged the theft, was
made to pay the messenger for his
trouble and then allowed to go and sin
no more.

The son of a well known New Yorker
left the city last summer to make his
home with an uncle who had grown rich
in the Orient. Several months ago the
family received letter FROM the uncle
saying that his nephew was dead. and
that the body had been embalmed and
sent home by a sailing ship. Last week
the vessel arrived here and the young
mans parents, attired in deep mourning,
went to receive the remains. A pecu-
liarly shaped box was delivered to them
and removed to their home. When the
undertaken opened the chest to give the
parents last look at the body, it was
found to contain a large Bengal tiger.
The surprised father ut once cabled his
brother in India: ..Some mistake.
Georges body not arrived. Coffin con-
tanned Bengal tiger" Quickly came
back this response: mo mistake. George

UNION VS.. NON.UNION.
The Question Occasions a Hot Fight.
Butts Settled.

The council committees OIL salaries. sew
ers and ways and means had a pleasant
time of it at their joint meeting yesterday
afternoon. The question of how much the
men should be paid was easily disposed of.
Aid. johnson moved that the pay of men
on the public works should be the same as
a year ago (S1.50), for he did not think the
men could live on less, although working
only eight hours day. Aid. Clark moved
that a pro rata reduction be made i'm the
mems pay. Aid. McArdle moved an amend
ment to the effect that a reduction of one
eleventh be made, and this carried. The
pay for teams was left to the ward COM
mittees. A committee from the bricklay-
ers' and Stonemasons' unions was present to
protest against the employment of non
union men Oh the sewer work. After some
discussion Aid. johnson moved that the
city engineer be instructed to employ none
but competent workmen. This he did to
meet the objections urged by the bricklay-
ers, that the non-union men were lncompe-
tent. He did not believe, however. in
making any discrimination between the
union and non-union men.
Aid. McArdle amended by moving that
the engineer be instructed to employ none
but union men.
Aid. JohnSon-It is simply damnable TO say
that taxpayer cannot work upon the streets
unless he belongs to q certain organization
You might as well require that he should be-
come Mason or an Odd Fellow. ET'f
Aid. McArdle-I made the amendment be-
cause ! believe that there will be constant
trouble If the non-union men are employed,
and the public works of the city will be
thereby retarded. Fla
Engineer Rinker asked leave to make an
explanation. The city had EMPLOYED a
man named Nelson for five years past who
had refused to join the union. Because he
had declined to discharge Nelson all the
union men had quit work. AS for himself.
he did not choose to discharge any man be-
cause he did not belong to uniOn, unless
the council so instructed.
Aid. Johuson-Id n id sight rather there
would not be u stitch of work done this year.
Dennis O'Rourke, bricklayer, claimed
that Nelson was not taxpayer, but lived
in Wisconsin, and was not competent.
Aid. Johnson-Are there not union men
who are incompetent? t.
Engineer Rinker-Didn't you want to take
Nelson into your union? iaN Jla
Eyes" answered O'Rourke ''but we did il
to keep peace" Engineer Rinker went on to
say that the union men had constantly made
it unpleasant for him. He had even put the
union men in one trench and the non-union
in another, but it did no good.
Aid. Lawrence remarked that the ques-
ton of competency cut no figure. as the pc
tition from the workAgmen last year was
,saat only union menu employed T. r..

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
The BOARD of Health Organizes
Steps i'm the Right Direction.

The new board of health met yesterday
afternoon and organized with DR.. Kilying.
ton as president and DR.. j. H. Dunn seere-
tary. The prevention of the spreading of
contagious diseases was discussed at length
1t was decided to enforce the ordinance re-
curing physicians having charge of cases
of a contagious nature to report their con-
dition at least once or twice week to the
health Office. DrS. Goodwin, Dunn and
Kilvington were appointed committee
to advise how long notices of
contagious diseases shall be required
to be posted and the length
of time children convalescent from conta-
gious diseases shall be required to remain
away from school. Aid. Morse, Cooley
and DR.. Kilvington were appointed to re-
qnest the cooperation of the police conf
mission in having all laws and ordinances
pertaining to health enforced, and to COM
pei each patrolman to be responsible for the
sanitary condition of his beat.
Drs. Kilvngton and Goodwin were APP
pointed to act upon AID OSwald's resolu-
ton in the city council in regard to a
slaughter house on Single creek. A TO-
tice to the effect that the East Minneapolis
dump can be no longer used was received
